The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) invited Malcolm because they wished to send the message to the world that they were becoming more militant and radical, and that Martin Luther King was not necessarily their leader. SNCC knew from the mission to Africa that it had sent in 1964 that Malcolm was more respected there than King was, and they knew that he was increasingly popular in the Northern cities and among young blacks. Malcolm had left the Nation of Islam by this time, and did not demand black separatism, but he did still promote armed self-defense and, in his words, "black nationalism." Malcolm had also sent a public telegram to the head of the American Nazi Party in Alabama in January 1965 stating that he would organize "maximum physical retaliation" if any civil rights workers were attacked by him.
